Another Warning

Mr.. COOPER will learn from the fol-
lowing letter that persons other than
ourselves look upon his last move as
one well calculated to prevent an early
settlement Of the State debt. We have,
too, letter from prominent member
of the House of Delegates, not for
publication, who looks upon the matter
in the same light. The letter first above
alluded to reads as follows
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The fable OF the oficious bear who
broke his masters nose in brushing q
fly from it is brought TO mind by a
late piece of conduct of the British
bondholders' agents.
II has been shown that il the consol
and ten-forty bonds are oil funded into
B per cents, the bondholders will re-
ceive for their $40, 202, 900 bonds these
3 per cent. bonds TO the amount of
Sl1, BIZ, 547. And it Is demonstrate
that if the principal of the present
bonds is forfeited by the constitutional
amendment, the interest coupons lin
that event become annuities) will bring
not more than SO, 259, no. 70-being a
loss, as compared with funding into
new 3s, OF 81, 951, 1880.
Just at the time when this is pro-
claimed to people overburdened with
taxes, exasperated against the men who
are trying to compass their ruin, all of
them resolved. and many OF them eager,
to relieve themselves to the extent of
FORGETTING the bonds il they are not
funded into per cents; and when, in
view OF the possibilities of this measure,
q conference is solicited by the bond
holders, just at this time it is announced
that arrangements are being made to
force upon the State coupons for all
license-taxes, amounting to say $3.50, 900
per annum.
If the plan shall succeed the very
few citizens who are in league with
these agents will make a certain amount
of money ont of the bondholders
their motive can be understood, what
ever may be thought of its character
But when it is obvious that if it shall
succeed it will recruit the ranks and in-
tensify the purpose of those who are
now determined to forfeit the principal
unless the Riddleberger settlement is
accepted, one can but wonder at the
stupidity which would goad the parties
holding the winning cards, but willing
to settle on this liberal basis, into a
course from which they now refrain in
a pure spirit of Cancellation.
If Sir Edward Thornton is really
anxious to serve his clients the first
thing for him to do when he gets here
should be to call off his dogs. 1t will
be hard TO diplomatize with State at
bay. ***

Taxing Merchants Licenses.

The decision of the Supreme Court
OF the United States as to drummers
has made it necessary for the Legisla-
ture and the City Council to conform
their legislation to that decision. Our
merchants must not be hsrassed and
embarrassed. In taxing them the City
Cornell should remember that pros
porous merchants will draw to this city
hundreds OF thousands of dollars, thus
benefiting not only bricklayers, car
penters, and mechanics generally, but
al classes of citizens. The country
IN, reliant sells hardware, harness,
dry goods, groceries, crockeryware,
candy, and even medicines. When,
therefore, he comes to Richmond TO
purchase goods. or when he purchases
goods from Richmond drummers, he
patronizes not only the wholesale dry
goods and grocery dealers, but all sorts
OF business. The Richmond merchant,
therefore, who attracts the purchasers
OF all these articles to this city deserves
10 he treated by the City Council
with all liberality when he APP
plies for city license 10 pursue
business which benefits oil classes
Of this community. He cannot afford
10 pay, and ought not to be expected
nor required to pay, any unreasonable
tax. To tax q merchant on stock
which he has never had and could not
afford to carry, is not 10 benefit but TO
injury not only him but all men OF all
occupations who share in the prosperity
which liberal legislation by the City
Council would enable him 10 aid ia
bringing upon Richmond. The State
well says:
But there is one thing certain, il
our merchants are TO be subject to ex-
cesAive taxation, many OF them will be
forced 70 retire from business. II they |
have to pay tax on their capital, and |
. tax on their purchases, and a tax on |
their sales, they viii have little or mo- |
thing left for profits. The meat trade |
especially would be ruined, because the |

portant opportunity to forward their

portant opportunity TO forward their
interests pass.
Again The bulk OF the taxes are
paid in the spring II Mr.. Cooper
allows the period between now and the
time when the commission shall hare
ceased its deliberations TO pass, he will
be unable 10 do much towards paying
this years taxes with coupons. The
exceeding uncertainty OF settlement
would not justify him, in my opinion,
in failing TO avail himself OF the pres
ent opportunity. If he did, and no
settlement were arrived at on the
reasoning OF Peace" he would be
compelled to cease operations next
spring If the State appointed another
commission and it is not TO be over
looked that at this moment the States
authorities are waging unrelenting war
upon me, upon Mr.. Cooper, upon his
agents in every quarter of the State,
and upon those who bought coupons
from him and them six months ago.
IL will not do for peace or any
one else to charge or hint that am now
or ever have been an obstacle in the
way of a settlement being arrived ct.
From the day we gained our first vic
tory in the Supreme Court to this l
have been working with every energy
of my mind and body to secure a com
promise OF this matter, and | have the
right to claim that have done more
than any other one man towards bring
ing matters to their present status, as
my correspondence will show, and |
will be happy to convince "Peace" OF
it if he will do me the honor to call
upon me.
In conclusion, | will say that in my
opinion it is the duty of every patriotic
Virginian to use coupons in payment OF
his taxes as means of compelling the
State to come TO some adjustment OF
this matter, and when she shall have
agreed TO settle upon terms that may
be agreed to by the present commission
and ratified by the creditors meeting
to be held thereafter, ], for one, will
refuse to pay my taxes in coupons, and
1 will place at the disposal of the State
all the knowledge of the subject that 1
possess to compel those creditors who
refuse to fund under that agreement
into doing so or losing all they possess.

Some one writing in this mornings

censures those who are promoting the
use of coupons pending the present ne
gotiations for settlement. The writer
assumes that l am responsible for this,
and he asks me whether or not my
"course is fair under the present cir
cumstances. | wish to say to "Peace ="
that am not responsible for the con-
tinued use of coupons at this time.
The very great interests involved are
responsible for that. But, as / am
called upon to express my opinion
upon the subject, 1 wish to say that
do not blame those engaged in it, but
expressly approve of their course.
If the State of Virginia had called
her creditors into conference with q
full and frank declaration that it was
her desire and purpose to have com.
plete discussion OF all matters involved.
that settlement might be arrived at
in accordance with all the equities on
each side, should have thought this
such an evidence of 6ona-Jids wish
and determination on her part to ar
rive ut settlement as would have
called upon the creditors to leave mat
tiers in statu quo. But she has made
no proposition at all TO her creditors.
After they have driven her authorities
TO seeing that their rights cannot be
trampled upon with impunity she has
grudgingly appointed commission to
treat with their representatives, but
with o declaration from all that no set
Element will be ratified that is not sub
stantially the Riddleberger bill, which
the creditors have definitely refused to
accept.

Mr.. Royall's Position,

We publish this morning a letter
from Mr.. ROYAL. 1t is not calculated
to inspire the readerof it with renewed
hopes of an early settlement of the
State debt. 1t will help to enlighten
the public mind, and make known the
bondholders' demands. The people
want all the light they can get on the
subject.

AS might have been expected, the
announcement from st. Petersburg that
the Afghan boundary question had been
settled is followed by news that the
Russians are again moving in the direc-
ton of Herat. We shall be very much
mistaken il the internal troubles of At
ghanistan do not afford the Russians
an excuse for invading Afghan terri
tory in the "interest of peace" In
that event there would be only one
course for England to pursue, and that
is 10 keep her pledge to the Ameer to
the letter.
